Woah, really? Usually in crontab lines everything has to match. I consider this to be a bug.

But first I‘d check the behavior of other crons ;-)

One tends to use LLMs for everything in practice. It‘s inconvenient to switch mode of operation

You probably need four of them in practice.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a project like mapillary or streetcomplete that forbids military use.

Neat. How about mentioning the massive black holes at the center of the galaxies?

Interesting design.

Why rewrite from scratch? Wouldn't it be advantageous to start from an existing forge (there are many these days) and add a new UI?

They promised Apple Intelligence with iPhone 15 Pro and more recent models.

Now [relevant parts of] Siri AI is restricted to iPhone 17 / iPhone Air and more recent models.

People who believed Apple and bought an iPhone 16 to use with Apple Intelligence are getting the shaft.

Yeah, the 25 days of vacation are a bit disappointing, in Germany 30 days are standard.

> But good luck doing that in one line in cron.

Two options:

    0 0 25-31 5 1

or, if your cron supports „L“:

    0 0 L 5 1

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

If you carry your notebook around every workday, it makes a big difference.

If you're on a long journey, it's even more of an issue.

The page shows up however briefly and then there's a full screen error message saying "This page couldn’t load"

In the browser javascript console I see "Uncaught TypeError: can't access property "ordinal", r is undefined"

It's much bigger and heavier. I hope Apple will bring back a 11" notebook one day.

When you're using OpenCode it's easy to reach 100,000 tokens after a while.

Indeed, if you make something that improved many people’s lives, you‘ll probably see it as a great success.

That often requires marketing it.

New comment by Tepix in "Danish Pension Blacklists SpaceX over 'Catastrophic Governance'"

Tepix — Sat, 30 May 2026 10:39:53 +0000

We know that xAI (with X) is struggling.

SpaceX is growing quite slowly. You could argue that Starship is likely to somewhat accelerate growth.

Starlink is doing well but also growing somewhat slow.

A more rational valuation would be 900b-1000b.

The rest is Musk and FOMO.
